It looks like we will have to wait another 15 months before we see the final season of Game of Thrones. Maisie Williams told the Metro:
We wrap in December and we air our first episode in April [2019]. That’s a four-month turnaround for these huge episodes. There’s a lot that goes into the final edit. You would not want to rush this season at all. We owe it to our audience and our fans to really do this final season to the best of our abilities. Article.
Wonderful. Hopefully the writers actually took advantage of the extra time to create a more coherent plot. I watched Season 6 several times but haven't even looked at Season 7 once it ended. Too many plot holes and the so-called big scenes at the end of the season were somewhat underwhelming. Writers obviously ran out of source material and dumbed everything down.
The ridiculous sortie above the Wall was obviously written to allow the Night King to get his hands on a dragon. However, the credibility of the show was nearly put on ice by the gaping plot holes. The books actually provided a plausible plot device, the Horn of Winter. It would have been more believable if the Night King whipped out the Horn of Winter and brought down the Wall, opening the way for his invasion but that seemed to have escaped D&D's notice. The writers also fell into the trap of making characters more important than the plot, the avoidance of which had made the series one of the more surprising and plot-twisting tv shows ever. Tormund should have died in the battle with the Night King but nope, he just had to be saved. Hopefully we are not going back to the days of where anyone who wears a red shirt should hide. Then there is the whole incest thing with Dani and Jon. Ewww. I'm still recovering from Godfather III twenty years ago, not to mention Jaime and Cersai.
Oh, if you want to see a satire on Game of Thrones, watch this video. Warning: Content is of a graphic, crude, and sexual nature but is all too true.

Maybe by then you’ll update this site and put away your Blackberry.
Actually we are working on the new version right now. You would be surprised at how many people have said don't change it when I mention it. Main reason is they are used to it and have it figured out.
As for the verification crap, I can't help that. Blame Google. Google, not me, uses recaptcha. I have no control over that. Scribd is using that as well now and its a pain in the ass.
Thanks for the update !
I really hope young Maisie is right. The fans of this "once great" show do deserve a righteous conclusion.
Hell, bring back the writers, producers, directors and such from the first two seasons and everything should be fine.
But I know it's not that simple.
Said don't change it because it is efficient for the reader.
Don't change it because it is like the Drudge Report, classic. The only thing I would change would be more third party content from sponsors or something. Those are fun and they should do it for free.
Whatever that is.
Can't fathom a non-goofy season with the stupid white walker army of dead set-up from last year. Give them all the time they need to try to save it.
Life is too short to watch Game of Thrones. People have been quoting it to me since 2012 and I still have had no interest. The production of new literature and music could have been halted thirty years ago and I wouldn't have even noticed. We have had enough to last us until Jesus comes back since the 80's.
I so agree, 9:28, although I might put the "halt" date a bit further back.
